My site is new, has no traffic, and doesn't show up in the search engines. HELP! $$$

[SpaceCityVirtual]

My site, www.VisitSaintMartin.com, is a priceline affiliate website taylored to people looking for info about Saint Martin Vacations. I just launched it 2 months ago and tried Google Adwords ($5/day) and only received 2-4 visitors a day. I also bought 5,000 clicks worth of traffic but these visitors are not turning over into customers.

What services can you provide to bring targeted users to the site, have the site show up in first page google search results for Saint Martin Vacations (etc.), and increase Alexa Rank????? And how much am I looking at??

You've done yourself a service by putting in the link to your site in your question. I doubt if moderators like this kind of usage of their forum but let me tell you some things you could do:

- Get your website indexed by searchengines like Google, Bing, Yahoo. You will need to sign in their account and report your site so the crawlers can de their job.

- Get some decent backlinks. Relevancy is already important and probably it will become more important in near future so try to find out which sites have content related to yours.
Report your site a dmoz[.]org. This large directory will give you some linkjuice.

- Make sure the site's SEO is as best as possible. I will not explain every bit but you can search for the criteria on this forum.

The thing you mentioned, Adwords, will work only if you have something relevant to offer leads who visit your website by clicking on ads. You will also have to make adjustments in adwords like search terms, ppc and budget if the amount of visitors through clicking on ads stay low.

So there are many things you can do, not even listed all here. Good luck!

Hi there,

You say it a 2 month old website when on the footer there still is "2012 Company Name. All Rights Reserved" lolx, you need to complete your website on every possible way "onpage" wise before you go ahead and promote your business with PPC.

If you need help with SEO and Search Engine Rankings let me know i could get you to good rankings with traffic in a month or two assuming you would complete everything our company would suggest you regarding onpage.



Regards,

Muneeb2Good is correct, you need some serious on-page SEO.
PPC to a travel site is gonna be expensive. Not sure if you will make enough in affiliate commissions to cover the PPC costs, if you continue going this route.

You can try some free ways to get traffic like: link building, guest posting, writing articles, press release, making videos, and social marketing.

in fact what you need is good seo strategy, instead of paying a lot of money on compaigns you have to consult an expert on seo with good price for long period than this...

goodluck

As few said above concentrate on your on-page things, that will surely raise your traffic. submit your site to google, and verify it with web master tool once again. That will surely help you to index. Do regularly post contents in blog.

You need original content as well as links of good quality. Search engines will ignore you if you just have affiliates and thin content.

Your site is indexed - just google visitsaintmartin.com to see that. Your problem is it is not ranking.

I see it was on Flippa https://flippa.com/2821706-high-qua...te-ready-for-seo-marketing-to-generate-income

And in an appraisal thread on NP before.

If your site is new make back links of by doing article submission,blog posting,link exchange etc.

New website need proper on page and off page optimization, you can do it your self if you have knowledge but since you don't have any idea let SEO professional do it for you in just 4 weeks to 2 months you notice ranking changes for good.

 

[mikevaughan]

1.Do the on-page optimization works in the site properly.
2.Get some useful back links to your site
3.Share your sites in social media sites.
If you do these three things properly and regularly, then visitors will automatically coming to your site

I agree with the above. Just try and build yourself a targeted audience. You have your niche, Go get people that like it. Authority sites in your niche, Forums etc. Give them a reason to go to your site. Social media is great. Also make sure your getting those quality backlinks from authority sites on your niche. Forum signatures etc.
